Disaster Supply Kit

Everyone should make preparations to care for yourself and your family for at least three days (72 hours) during and after an emergency. Creating a Disaster Supply Kit is an important part of being prepared. The following items should be stored in a large waterproof backpack or wheeled container for easy transport and kept in a safe place, preferable in your shelter room in your home. Keep medications that cannot be stored in your Kit in a bag that can be easily grabbed. Change out water and food supplies every 6 months when you review your Emergency Preparedness Plan.
